Bunting - repost

Hi to my fellow bloggers,  I have been MIA for a couple of months, not that I have not been following your posts, but I have had a break from serious card making, blame it on my Silhouette Cameo.  I have been on a huge learning curve with this wonderful machine and every time I log on to make a card I get distracted with all the great cutting files and projects which can be achieved with this machine.

Today I am posting a couple of projects I have been trying out.  We have new neighbours a couple of door down from us, I know Jackie and her girls as they lived in another part of the village.  The girls, Connie aged 5 and Tilly 6 months have just had their bedrooms decorated and I thought I would make some bunting for their walls.

This is Connie's



This is Tilly's


I used cutting files I bought for the Cameo and card that I have accumulated over the years, pearls and ribbon, quite effective I think.  You may have to zoom in on the pictures to see the Gingham dresses.


Photos are best I can get with the size of the bunting but Jackie and Connie are well impressed, Tilly has no choice being so young.

Hopefully now I have posted this today I may get back to card making, which I do enjoy doing.  I have been buying loads of things to make cards so I better use it before Hubby has a fit.  Every time he pokes his head in my craft room or I get a delivery he says and when will this be used then?  I have told him it will be a long winter and I will make inroads when the weather changes.  My excuse and I am sticking to it.

We had a wee holiday at Stonehaven a couple of weeks ago with the caravan and the weather was great for most of the time, I came home with a sun tan.  Hubby, the dogs and me what a nice break, my mum stayed with my youngest sister and it was a break from me for her too.  As she gets older the more immobile she gets and it hard work being with her 24/7 having to do so much for her.  Not that I am complaining but it did me good to have some time away.

As always I look forward to seeing all your beautiful creations and feel honoured that you take the time to look and comment on my post.  Take care.

  3. Such fantastic bunting Wilma. A friend recently gave me a Craft Robo and I am having an awful time getting it to cut through the card. I have bought a new blade and a new carrier sheet but still only parts of the files cut out. You obviously have no problem with your machine. This is really lovely.
